Project Vision• Child Welfare Digital Services (CWDS) will provide a new technology platform and suite of

digital services to be released incrementally over the next few years.

• The new digital services are being developed as a collection of web applications, accessible from both computers and mobile devices.

• The new digital services leverage the principles of Agile methodology, user-centered design, and free/open source software (FOSS).

• The new digital services will provide an intuitive user experience and new capabilities not currently provided by legacy systems.

• The new digital services will replace the mainframe-based Child Welfare Services / Case Management System (CWS/CMS) in service since 1997.
